A Functional Testing Approach

Caring for your child's health properly is so much more than just taking care of individual areas of the body. It is important to follow a “functional integrative” approach that considers the each system of the body entirely.

Caring for your child's health properly is so much more than just the basics of eating right and sleeping well. With current medical research, we have discovered that the body is a complex collection of organs and systems and even bacterial colonies (the microbiome) that greatly impact each other.

While the standard of care hasn’t quite “caught up” yet with most of the current science, conventional doctors and “specialists” are still treating parts of the body separately without taking into account the fact that all these areas greatly impact each other.

When your child is healthy, all the systems work together like a symphony in perfect harmony – and they have vibrant health.

But when one of these systems is off balance, the whole symphony is out of tune! When a “tune-up” is needed  so to speak, not only do you need to look at areas that aren’t working right… but also that the rest of the body is in balance?

Sadly, most people in North American are receiving medications to treat symptoms associated with a body part that “isn’t working” when in reality, it’s often times a systemic issue that needs to be treated in a completely different way.

In addition, the conventional medical approach also doesn’t consider that each person is born with unique health needs: Based on their genetic factors, the environment they were born into, what kinds of bacteria populate their gut (aka microbiome), as well as what they are exposed to as they grow – each person's body has a very unique health profile which means they need an equally unique healing protocol.

It’s no wonder why you've likely been going from doctor to doctor and never find the answers to your child's illness! Conventional medicine is missing the mark when it comes to effectively treating many chronic illnesses caused in utero, or their environment/diet, and food sensitivities because they try to treat symptoms with medication. In fact, we find many children while they may share the same symptoms, they frequently suffer from very different imbalances.

That’s why it is important to follow a more modern “functional medicine” approach that incorporates advanced functional lab testing and relies on current nutritional science to help your child rebalance their deficiencies and finally heal.

The approach is so unique because the focus is to address current & longterm health in our comprehensive programs. The goal is to restore the body’s innate healing potential by removing triggering conditions & events, supporting detox and cellular rebuilding.

After our in-depth intake, exploring both past and present symptoms and reviewing lab tests, we’ll craft a personalized treatment protocol specific to their needs so they can finally leave chronic dis-ease behind.

Functional Medicine is the “medicine of the future” because it focuses on restoring your body’s innate healing potential, and not just treating symptoms. It uses a combination of science-driven testing with holistic health practices, to treat the whole person and not just parts of your body.

Since each person is biologically unique, a “one size fits all” approach never works. That’s why when you have a precise understanding of what triggered the symptoms, we can craft a precise treatment plan without relying on guesswork!

The main focus is getting to the root causes of chronic wellness issues by examining the key cellular imbalances that are responsible for virtually all symptoms that someone could be experiencing right now. 

Our care is so effective because the focus is placed on dealing with the “up-stream” catalyst of chronic illnesses – including toxicity in your home or school, potential food intolerances and allergies, to gut & hormonal imbalances, and behavior issues that all determine how healthy you are.

Our programs are a more comprehensive form of care to help your child upgrade their quality of life – so they don’t remain stuck in the “chronic illness hamster wheel”.

Here are some of the benefits and steps we will focus on with your child:

  • A detailed intake process to allow for a personalized healthcare model to be tailored exactly to their needs.

  • State-of-the-art lab testing based on their unique situation/health concern. 

  • Time is then spent on designing a personal protocol based on their results.

  • All care will be offered as tele-health services via the internet and/or phone. 

  • Testing lab kits are sent directly to you, so the collection (e.g. stool, urine) can be done in the convenience of your own home.
